All Chapters of The Prison Bride: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

"He could understand your decision back then. You really were beautiful. The director was just being cautious, and she was right not to let anyone adopt you. There are too many creeps out there," Harry said with a grin.Jessie had been the prettiest girl in the orphanage.Talent scouts came often, hoping to sign her into show business, but the director refused every time.The director said she had no parents to support her. In that industry, she'd be eaten alive, and the orphanage wouldn't be able to protect her.Jessie had always listened to the director.When she arrived at Jack's house, he was lying on the couch with a few cats curled up quietly beside him as he watched a show."I'm back," Jessie said. It was something she had never said before.Jack stood up with a cat still in his arms. "Harry told me the Stewarts have all been taken in. Are you not planning to let them attend Grandpa David's memorial service?""They were probably brought in for questioning. As for the mem

Harry squinted and smiled. "Really? I think I'm a good guy."Jessie thought, 'That's what every bad guy says.'But to her, Harry was a good guy.After all, birds of a feather flock together.While the men prepared dinner frantically, Jessie stood nearby and watched.Harry spoke up while chopping onions. His eyes were blinking rapidly from the sting."Got some bad news for you," he said.Jessie took a sip of her fruit tea. "What is it?""Freddy might've been sold to a scam compound in Dubor," Harry said in a serious tone.Jessie froze.Even Ronny turned off the faucet and leaned closer.Jack, who was gutting a fish, only furrowed his brows slightly but showed little curiosity."How does someone even get sold to a place like that?" Ronny asked curiously."Mia used him up, then had her people sell him off for cash." Harry thought Freddy had it coming.Ronny clicked his tongue. "Mia is a textbook villain. Cold, ruthless, and screws over everyone around her."Jessie didn't re

The phone rang twice, but Jessie ignored both calls.When it finally stopped, she got into Jack's car and said, "It really was from Dubor. They picked today on purpose, didn't they?""Choosing today was a silent provocation," Jack replied coldly.Jessie didn't say anything.Meanwhile, Bruce, Mark, and Laura were in another car leaving the cemetery. Bruce finally spoke. "Freddy called earlier. He picked today too. It must've been Mia's idea.""Where is he?" Mark snapped furiously."He got sold into a scam compound. They want us to wire over five million," Bruce said.Mark's anger instantly fizzled out.Laura's eyes widened. "A scam compound? You mean those places we've seen on the news? Where people get beaten half to death if they don't make money, and sometimes even have their organs harvested?""Yeah." Bruce's voice was grim.Tears streamed down Laura's face. "We were horrible to her, fine. She has every right to hate us. But what did Freddy ever do to deserve this?"Were

Jessie's words sparked an immediate outburst from the room.The meeting that was supposed to put Jessie in her place had completely backfired. Now, no one could tell who was teaching whom a lesson."This is ridiculous! Who gave you the right to make such a decision without consulting us?""You didn't even discuss it with the rest of us shareholders. Do we mean nothing to you?"Everyone was furious."I've gone through the ledgers my grandfather left. Back when the company was profitable, everyone took massive dividends. Now that the company's struggling, shouldn't we all lend a hand? Once Stewart Tech recovers, your dividends will naturally go back up," Jessie said calmly without taking what they said seriously."Jessie, you've barely been in the company for five minutes. You have no idea how to run it. If you make enemies of everyone here, don't expect anyone to bail you out when things go south," Daniel said.Bruce and the others didn't dare make a sound."You're asking her to

After Jack sat down, he started chatting with the three clients like an old friend."Mr. Carrel from Tenfold Tech, right? I didn't mistake you, did I? I've heard a lot about you. Your team's mobile optimization work is impressive," Jack's tone was unusually pleasant.Jim Carrel, the CEO of Tenfold Tech, was a straightforward, hardworking man who had spent his entire life immersed in technology. Hearing Jack's compliment, he scratched his head with a modest smile. "We can't compare with you, Mr. Gerome. You're doing cutting-edge international projects. Our technology wouldn't even catch your eye.""That's not true at all."Ronny jumped in. "These days, everyone's got a smartphone. The biggest complaint about our local phones is that they become increasingly laggy over time. What you're doing may not sound glamorous, but it's solving a very real problem for a lot of people.""Exactly. If you examine the data, most people cannot simply swap phones whenever they want.
